These days it's quite common to hold kids back from starting Kindergarten or repeating K. It gets tougher to do after that age. It's more of a stigma for kids after that.

[QUOTEIf a normal child falling within that age range isn't being properly served by his kindergarten, I feel that's a problem with the school, not the child. JMHO.][/quote]


I agree with the above statement up to a point. But K or 1st grade seem to accomodate the differences in abilities, whereas when they get into 2nd, 3rd the differences become a problem.
